3,700

Explanation:

When rounding numbers to a specific place value, you have to look at the value of the place one spot to the right. If the number is #<=5#, round up a place. If the number is #>5#, round down.

So... for this problem, you need to round to the nearest hundred. Look at the place value of the tens place. Since is is less than #5#, round down.
